Questions to resolve before sampling.
01How many foundation shades should a first range include?
There is no universal number. The architecture should follow the target audience, market, channel, benchmark, forecast and packaging minimums.
02Can coverage and finish be adjusted separately?
They can be refined, but coverage, finish, sensory feel and wear interact and should be evaluated as one formula direction.
03Why review the pump or applicator during sampling?
Dispensing and application affect dose, finish and user experience, so the formula and delivery system should be approved together.
